Every Moment is Unknown

It's Friday morning, you are really excited because you are going shopping this morning for some new clothes and really cute sandals that you've been wanting. Then you go out to check the garden, you realize your asparagus plant is finally producing. It seems like the perfect start to an awesome weekend. Or so you think.

You get to the store, they don't have your sandals in your size. Okay not the end of the worLd because you find another pair that's just as cute. You look around for some new bras. You happen to start looking at people and their faces look weird. First you think well it's only one person whose face looks messed up. Stop staring at them, it's not their fault they have a messed up looking face. Then you realize everyone's faces look messed up. So then you go to text your best friend, you cant see the letters completely. You also can't read the signs in the store.You keep shopping or trying to anyway because you were so excited. But everything is a blur, then it's like your head has been struck. A sudden sharp pain through your head that doesn't leave. The pain only gets worse. You decide to leave but its too late by the time you get home its all you can do but go lay down. That's when the tears start pouring out, it hurts so bad and it seems like there's nothing you can do.

You take the pills your doctor gave you once your dad called your neuro and told him its a migrane take the pills. So you do at 12:30. You take them again at 4:45. The last dose didn't help you figure why take it again if it's not going to help so you don't. You're in lots of pain when 11:00 rolls around and your dad gets home from work. He tells you to take another. Then only after he realizes that you are in a lot of pain and have being waiting out this migrane for over 12 hours does he decide its time for the hospital.

The ER doctor tries one medication but that doesn't work. It's only after a dose of morphine that you begin to feel relief. You lay there in the bed so happy the pain is subsiding but so unhappy at how the day turned out.

You hope that you never have to go through this pain again.
